My great great grandmother Lucy A Trotman (1880) nee Bennett was born in Culmstock Devon, birth registered under wellington Somerset. Thanks to this website i have located her in 1901 census but due to lack of information can't identify her in 1891. I was wondering if it was possible for somebody who has access to the 1881 census to see if we can find her with other family members. I am assuming that as she would only be one at this time it is probable that they may still be in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to read my entry. any help appreciated.
Regards Rachel

Thank you very much both of you for your help, not only have you managed to find them in 1881 but also 91.....BRILLIANT!

Can i ask Astra how did you locate them in 1891? What database are you using? i have tried over and over but with no joy! I had had visions that the whole family had just disappeared only to reappear in 1901.

Thanks again
RAchel
